Nailside: Titanic inspired nails

Hi guys, I've entered another nail art contest, themed "Thank God, I'm a woman!". The contest is hosted by Orlica and this time all the entries had to be related with why you like to be a woman. Although I have many reasons why I'm happy to be a girl, I just couldn't think of a fun and original way to capture those on my nails. The theme of this contest was so challenging! After a LOT of thinking, I decided to make Titanic inspired nails. It's one of my favorites movies and I'm not just saying that because of the overwhelming love story, lol. I know many find the movie very corny, but I can't help but loving it :P It's everything about it, there's a reason why it won 11 Academy Awards! So I picked Titanic as my theme, because as a girl, it's okay to love that movie without being frowned upon ;-) I freehanded the ship itself on my thumb and on my ringfinger I have Rose's Heart of the Ocean necklace, made with a dotting tool and rhinestones. Once again, it was a really tough theme, but all the contestants have been really creative to think of something cute, so go check them out and vote for your favorite!

Awesomely done. (Even though I really don't like the movie. I'm really not a James Cameron fan. Haven't seen Avatar either and I'm not planning to any time soon)

You are a NAIL POLISH GODDESS!!! That is really stunning work! Brava m'dear!

I LOVE Titanic--went to a Titanic exhibit and cried there (after having seen the movie a couple of times). Then I went to see the film one last time and bawled the whole freakin movie LOL The guy and his son kept looking back at me like "what the heck is wrong with you?" LOLOLOL

I think that is an awesome thing about being a girl/woman--passionately loving movies/books and being able to fuss over them!

Good luck! *bowing to the Queen*

@Headacheslayer "The Crafty Angel": What a funny story, hahah! A Titanic exhibit, how awesome is that! :D Thank you kindly for all the huge compliments, they made my day! And about the contest: I was picked as 2nd winner, so not the public's favorite, but still hooray :D
